Why am I giving this rating? Because this is an interesting beer - the first one I've drunk in Lithuania (recently arrived)... was looking for some more info on it, found this site, so thought I'd put my two cents in...
As another reviewer has stated, it tastes like fruit juice - with a kick ... very natural (100% juice), though, and it does have a hint of stout flavor. It looks like fruit juice, too - purple-brown, not much head. Smells natural, reminds me of a Belgian Lambic. I've tried quite a few "kriek" (sour cherry) beers in Belgium, but never tried a "casis" (black current) and if I were to do it, I imagine it would be like this. I prefer a less fruity beer, and less sweet, but this was a quality beer and I think it would get a high rating from beer drinkers who enjoy a Belgian Lambic.

Review: 0,41l bottle of Vilkmerges Jouduju Serbentu Stout: 5.5% vol.
A seasonal beer, “Vilkmergė Black Currant Stout” is billed as a dark stout beer with black currants coming in a lovely designed black bottle with imprints on the back.
Looks well, yes obviously, like a glass of blackcurrant, purple/dark red colour. Not a bad head on the pour, creamy and decent looking, but dies a quick death.
Smell is quite clear on the nose, it is a great big whiff of black currant. Smells like a Ribena. For me that’s a neutral, I am not bothered either way by the smell…..black currant doesn’t excite but its also not a bad aroma.
No surprise to tell you that the taste is like a blackcurrant juice. Very sweet and nice enough to drink, but it really feels like I am drinking a Ribena. I am really struggling to see how this is classed as a stout, its more like a fruit beer or juice.
Get a sweet blackcurrant taste, a little of the malts and a berry aftertaste, with no bitterness. Too heavy on the fruits and sugar filled but not so much on the hops and alcohol flavours.
It is nice to drink and easy to go down, but I cant find any alcohol or flavours to show this is anything but a fruit juice. The alcohol is very well hidden.
I can feel the alcohol kicking in afterwards though! But still a big disappointment, as I was expecting an interesting stout (my favourite beer style) and here I am drinking a Ribena. It doesn’t look, smell or taste like a beer! And it came in such a nice bottle, oh well……

From bottle.
Dark brown with reddish head. Head fades away immediately, stays only thin layer and small ring around the glass. Very sweet on the nose with a lot of blackcurrants, berries jam. On a palate also very sweet, blackcurrants, berries, dry fruits with some milk chocolate notes. Light body, short aftertaste.
